A College Sports Fan

The reason we won't have a college football season and may not have basketball either, is because of the American dumb-as-a-box-of-rocks right wing and our even dumber than that president. To summarize:

• Yes, coronavirus started in China, but, according to experts on viruses (and, no, right wingers, listening to talk radio does not make you an expert) it was not released from a laboratory.
• Yes, China covered up and lied about the seriousness of the coronavirus, because that is how authoritarian governments react to any occurrence that makes them look bad. Which explains why Trump reacted the same way once it reached America.
• No, the fact that the Chinese government lied about the seriousness of the coronavirus epidemic in their country, does not excuse Trump's lies about the seriousness of it in our country.
• Yes, we could have had college sports, and other normal activities of a normal country, if we had an effective early lockdown like in other countries, which halted the spread of the virus.
• No, we didn't have that, because the right wing in this country cannot control their dumbness long enough to shut up and put on a mask.
• Yes, the coronavirus is going to rampage through this country for years after it has been tamped down in other countries because they don't have to contend with the American right wing which has embraced dumbness as a virtue.
• No, there is no hope for us, because the only principle the American right wing knows is to wait for the left wing to take a stand, then to take the opposite one. Unfortunately, that means when the left creates a strategy to save our country from the pandemic, the right will fight like hell to destroy it, and be proud as hell of themselves while they do it.

And no, left wing doesn't mean socialist. The right wing in this country has moved so far to the right they believe only in prosperity for the wealthiest, while the rest of us go begging. Left wing in this country at this time means people who believe in the old-fashioned notion there should still be a middle class and a working class and upward mobility should still be possible with hard work. Out-dated notions, I know.

There are no morals more relative than conservative morals, and no hypocrisy quite like conservative hypocrisy.
